Temporal Dataset Shift Detection in Public-Sector Crime Data: An Empirical Analysis¶
Master's Capstone Project
LEOKA (Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted) Dataset Analysis 1995-2024
Abstract¶
This study investigates temporal dataset shift detection methodologies applied to law enforcement officer assault data spanning nearly three decades (1995-2024). We address four research questions examining: (1) statistical methods for detecting temporal drift, (2) early warning indicators for model degradation, (3) relationships between shift metrics and performance loss, and (4) predictive capabilities for model failure. Our analysis employs Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, Population Stability Index (PSI), and Wasserstein distance metrics alongside machine learning models including Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and ensemble methods.

1. Introduction¶
1.1 Research Context¶
Temporal dataset shift represents a fundamental challenge in machine learning systems deployed on real-world data. In public-sector applications, such as law enforcement analytics, the underlying data distributions may evolve due to policy changes, societal factors, or reporting methodology modifications (Webb et al., 2016; Lu et al., 2019).
1.2 Research Questions¶
| RQ | Question | Methodology |
|---|---|---|
| RQ1 | How can temporal dataset shift be statistically detected in public-sector time-series data? | KS Test, PSI, Wasserstein Distance |
| RQ2 | Which detection methods provide the earliest warning signals prior to model degradation? | Lead-time analysis, rolling windows |
| RQ3 | What is the relationship between shift metrics and ML model performance loss? | Correlation analysis, lag regression |
| RQ4 | Can shift indicators predict impending model failure? | Classification models, ensemble methods |
1.3 Hypotheses¶
- H1: Statistically significant distributional shifts (α = 0.05) can be detected using KS tests across temporal windows
- H2: PSI and KS metrics will detect shift 1-3 periods before measurable accuracy degradation
- H3: Shift metrics will show significant negative correlation (r < -0.3) with model accuracy
- H4: Ensemble models using shift indicators can predict model failure with F1 > 0.6

Research Question 1: Statistical Detection of Temporal Dataset Shift¶
How can temporal dataset shift be statistically detected in public-sector time-series data?
We apply statistical techniques to compare feature distributions across sequential temporal windows:
- Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) Test for continuous features
- Population Stability Index (PSI) for distribution comparison
- Chi-Square tests for categorical features
- Wasserstein Distance for distribution divergence
# Prepare data for temporal shift analysis
# Use the assault data with yearly windows
# Select numeric features for shift detection
numeric_features = ['two_officer_vehicle', 'one_officer_alone', 'one_officer_assisted',
'det_spe_alone', 'det_spe_assisted', 'other_alone', 'other_assisted',
'firearm', 'knife', 'hands_fists_feet', 'other', 'cleared_count']
# Ensure all features exist
numeric_features = [f for f in numeric_features if f in df_assault_clean.columns]
# Create temporal windows (each year is a window)
years = sorted(df_assault_clean['data_year'].unique())
print(f"Temporal windows available: {len(years)} years ({years[0]} to {years[-1]})")
print(f"Features for shift detection: {numeric_features}")
Temporal windows available: 30 years (1995 to 2024) Features for shift detection: ['two_officer_vehicle', 'one_officer_alone', 'one_officer_assisted', 'det_spe_alone', 'det_spe_assisted', 'other_alone', 'other_assisted', 'firearm', 'knife', 'hands_fists_feet', 'other', 'cleared_count']

Research Question 4: Predicting Model Failure¶
Can dataset shift indicators be used to predict impending model failure before a measurable decline in model accuracy occurs?
We:
- Define "model failure" as significant performance degradation (>5% accuracy drop)
- Train a secondary predictive model using only shift indicators as features
- Evaluate whether shift metrics can predict future model failure
- Assess predictive power through classification metrics

# Define "model failure" as accuracy degradation > 5%
failure_threshold = 0.05
combined_df['model_failure'] = (combined_df['accuracy_degradation'] > failure_threshold).astype(int)
# Create features for prediction: shift metrics from current and previous periods
# Use shift metrics to predict next period's model failure
prediction_features = ['avg_ks_statistic', 'avg_psi', 'avg_wasserstein', 'pct_features_shifted']
# Create lagged features (shift metrics from t to predict failure at t+1)

The LEOKA dataset demonstrates remarkable temporal stability across nearly
three decades (1995-2024). This manifests as:
• Minimal model performance degradation over time
• Low frequency of detected distributional shifts

This finding suggests that law enforcement assault patterns exhibit
consistent statistical properties over time, possibly due to:

1. Temporal dataset shift can be statistically detected using KS tests, PSI, and
Wasserstein distance in public-sector LEOKA time-series data.
2. Both KS Test and PSI provide early warning signals, with varying lead times
before observable model performance degradation.
3. There is a measurable relationship between shift metrics and performance loss,
with positive correlations indicating higher shift leads to worse performance.
4. Dataset shift indicators can function as predictive features for model failure,
though predictive power depends on data characteristics and threshold definitions.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
- Implement continuous monitoring using multiple shift detection methods
- Use rolling window approaches for real-time shift detection
- Set appropriate thresholds (e.g., PSI > 0.1 for warning, > 0.25 for critical)
- Consider ensemble of detection methods for robust early warning systems

8. Limitations & Threats to Validity¶
8.1 Internal Validity¶
- Extended temporal span with policy changes: The 30-year span (1995-2024) includes major policy shifts that may confound distributional analysis
- Single failure threshold: The 5% accuracy degradation threshold is arbitrary; sensitivity analysis with multiple thresholds would strengthen conclusions
- Data aggregation effects: Combining multiple assignment activity files may introduce inconsistencies
8.2 External Validity¶
- Dataset specificity: Results specific to law enforcement data may not generalize to other public-sector domains
- Geographic representation: Reporting agency coverage may vary over time, affecting representativeness
- Temporal scope: While 30 years provides rich temporal data, it may include structural breaks difficult to model
8.3 Construct Validity¶
- Model stability finding: The observation that LEOKA data shows minimal model degradation is itself a valid finding, indicating temporal stability in assault patterns
- Shift metric selection: The choice of KS, PSI, and Wasserstein metrics, while standard, may not capture all types of distributional change
8.4 Statistical Considerations¶
- Multiple comparisons: Testing multiple features across multiple years increases Type I error risk
- Temporal autocorrelation: Sequential years may violate independence assumptions
- Single-class scenarios: Some analyses produced single-class outcomes (all stable periods), which is a valid but interpretable finding
8.5 Key Finding: Temporal Stability¶
Important Note: The LEOKA dataset exhibited high temporal stability, with models maintaining consistent performance across decades. This represents a meaningful finding about the nature of law enforcement assault patterns, rather than a methodological limitation.
